INTRODUCTION. 

The method pursued in this work is : 

1st. To give the student connected matter for dictation as soon as he under- 
stands the alphabet, the vowels, and the rules for position. 

'2nd. To give practical illustrations of each rule by means of model sentences. 

3rd. To systematically develop a ready command of word signs. 

In no case has a word been used until the principle under which it is formed 
has been fully explained. 

Principle after principle is thus presented and practically illustrated by model 
sentences until an extensive vocabulary has been developed. The earlier rules 
are never lost sight of, but are continually used in the sentences employed for il- 
lustrating new principles. As a preparation for the reporting style all words are 
written according to the rules given in Graham's Hand Book, Sections 25T-8-9. 

(The simple halving principle is outlined in the second chapter merely for the 
purpose of giving a larger vocabulary in the construction of sentences. Its fur- 
ther nicities and capabilities are presented in the place assigned to them in the 
Graham Hand Book.) 

The three evident advantages of this method are : 

1st. The early use of dictation trains the ear of the student from the very be- 
. ginning of his studies. 

2nd. The ''working up of a speed 1 ' is commenced at once. 

3rd. The concise statement of principles, and immediate illustration thereof, 
enables the student to fix them permanently in his mind. 

Special Directions For Study. 

The sentences in the first chapter are to be taken up as soon as the student has 
learned the first seven exercises of the Graham Hand Book. The object of this 
chapter is to give the application of the various rules for the use of the strokes 
for S and Z. When the student understands these rules perfectly and can write 
the sentences from dictation correctly tha sentences in Chapter H are to be taken 
up. When the student has passed a satisfactory examination on the sentences 
in this chapter, the work becomes routine as regards the study of this book in 
connection with the Graham Hand Book. The sections of the Compendium indi- 
cated at the head of the 8th Graham Reading Exercise are to be studied. Then 
this Reading Exercise is to be taken up, and, when it can be read fluently, the 
student is given the sentences in Chapter III of this work : and. as a final test of 
his knowledge, the 8th Graham Writing Exercise is to be written and handed to 
the teacher for correction. 

This then is the routine of study : 

1st. The Graham Compendium. 2nd. The Graham Reading Exercise. 3rd. The 
corresponding sentences in this work. 4th. The Graham Writing Exercise. 



It takes the student a little longer to pursue this course, but he is "working up 
a speed" all the time, and when he is through his knowledge is of such an exact 
character that he can apply it intelligently. 

In my own teaching I have found it desirable to teach according to a schedule 
which is given in the appendix. This schedule is not entirely arbitrary ; but a 
bright and industrious student may gain upon it, and one who is not quite so 
quick may fall somewhat behind it without its indicating necessarily that he is 
hot fitted for the profession. The schedule is useful in several ways. It indicates 
to the student exactly what is expected of him. He clearly understands what he 
has to do each day, if he wishes to complete his course in six months, and that a 
day lost during the course means a day added at the end. The schedule serves 
then as a measure of the student's ability — a bright one may gain upon it ; the 
average one will maintain it, and none can fall far behind it and expect to attain 
proficiency in his undertaking. 

The value of the typewriter schedule (see appendix) consists mainly in com- 
pelling the student to pursue the necessary amount of practice requisite to gain 
speed ; and also to make sure that he has had sufficient practice in all the various 
details of practical typewriting. 

A list of the word signs contained in this book will be found in the appendix. 
These are given by chapter and are counted. The number of words in each chap- 
ter is also given. As soon as the student has finished the first chapter he should 
have the first list of word signs dictated to him daily. He should keep the sen- 
tences in constant review, always keeping a record of his speed. This dictation 
of word signs and daily review of sentences must not be neglected. 

A daily report of the record of each student should be kept. (See appendix.) 

In conclusion, I would advise all who are entering upon the study of Graham 
Phonography to take advantage of all of his publications. When through the 
Hand Book, purchase a First Reader and a Dictionary. Then take up the IT. C. 
S. and I. C. R. books, and then the Second Reader. Above all things subscribe 
for the "Student's Journal/ 1 The study of these works continued, perhaps, long 
after you have secured a position, will increase your proficiency and make larger 
earnings possible. "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well," is par- 
ticularly applicable to shorthand. 

Elegance of diction was not considered an important factor in the construction 
of the "Model Sentences," but not one word has been used without a specific ob- 
ject. If some of the sentences are a little crude, the desire to give all the various 
applications of the principles illustrated must be the apology. 

Trusting that these "Model Sentences," and the suggestions offered in the ap- 
pendix may meet with the approval of earnest teachers and students, I remain. 

Yours respectfully, 

H. L. Andrews.

All the characters in this work were written with rny Waterman Fountain Pen No. 4. 

I have used this pen constantly for several years and it is, apparently, as good to-day 
as the day I purchased it. 

No busy stenographer can afford to be without one of these Waterman Ideal Fountain 
Pens. 

I keep a carefully selected stock of these pens on hand with points especially adapted 
for stenographic use. (I am obliged to keep a Fountain Pen for my customers, and I keer 
this one because I can recommend it as the best.) 

An absolute guarantee goes with every Waterman Pen. 

Attention is called to a slightly reduced fac simile of work done on Remington Type- 
writer No. 1574, on page 99. This machine is probably the oldest one now in. daily use and 
the character of the work must bear evidence of the great durability of the Remington.

SIMPLE HALVING PRINCIPLES. 

You may shorten Lay, Em, En and Ar to add the sound of T, thus— 

Lay...^! .late.../^. may..^;^ ..mate. ^ knee ..tZ^.... ..neat .^!. air .^ art ^.... 

You may also shorten these- four consonants, and at the same time widen them, 
to add the sound of D, thus — 

Late /T laid ., ..(•. raate...^ made. ^ neat . *!^ need .*?. art ..-^ aired...^ 

Note — El when halved and widened to add D is written downward. 

Simple Way, Yay, Ing and Hay are never shortened for any purpose but any 
other primary consonant may be halved to add either T or D, and it must be de- 
termined from the context which is added. 

Note — A shortened Ray never stands alone.

Method of Preparing 
graham writing exercises. 

In my own teaching I have found it desirable to have the pupil write out the 
Graham Writing Exercises on the typewriter as indicated below. These under- 
scores should be filled in by the pupil and handed to the teacher for correction. 
The writing of the shorthand character in juxtaposition with the printed wore 
makes it an easy matter for the teacher to do the correcting. 



EXERCISE XV. 

1. Inseparable inseparably insuperable in 

spire unsuppressed insuppressible ensober 

instructor unstring unstrung unscrupulous 

inscribe unscrew insecure insecurity in- 

scroll 

Enslave ...unseemly unsullied unsurmised 

enslaver , etc. 



These underscores, after having been filled in by the pupil, should be pinned to 
His daily report (see next page) together with all his typewriting work, examina- 
tions, etc., and hung on his class hook. 



ANDREWS' GRADED SENTENCE nook.

Pupils must hand in a duplicate of the following- Daily Report every day. > o 
report is indicative of the absence of the pupil for the entire day. If absent one

The course of business letters should be supplemented by short dictations daily 
on general, literary, social, religious, and scientific topics, during the last two 
months of the course. 

Teachers who give instruction in the corresponding style only should omit the 
last chapter of the Sentence Book and Martin's Reporting Exercises, and substi- 
tute the Graham First Reader for the I. C. R. Book.

During the balance of the course the pupil must copy letters once a week until 
one hundred have been copied. These letters must be indexed and filed away as 
though the persons to whom they are addressed were the senders. 

The above Schedule is intended to cover three hours daily practice. When this 
amount of time cannot be devoted to practice, the Schedule may be varied to 
meet the altered conditions.

These Copy Books are designed to accompany the Sentence Books and they 
form a sure and valuable guide to the student, carrying him safely from the for- 
mation of the alphabet, making the pathway plain before him, to the brief and 
beautiful principles of the Reporting Style. The use of these Copy Books takes a 
great load from the teacher and their value to the student cannot be estimated. 

Martin's Reporting Exercises 1-50 

These Exercises are published by A. M. Martin, a Legislative, Court and Gen-

Prices ranging from $2.50 upward. 

The pen which I recommend for stenographic work is the No. 4, price $4.00. 

I have sold this pen to reporters and amanuenses for several years and have 
never heard one word of complaint. No stenographer can afford to be without 
one. I keep a carefully selected stock of these pens constantly on hand and I am 
confident that X can suit your hand if you will give the pen a trial.

STENOGRAPHERS are the most likely people i the world to 
know just what is wanted in a Typewriter. Practical expere. ° is the test. 
Th fact that such an immense army of Stenographers throughout the world 
prefer tbo REMINGTON, and that the demand increases with amazing rapid ty, 
is the best proo? jhat its claims of superiority in all the essentials are well 
founded.

2JP Attention is called m a slightly reduced fac simile of work done on 
Remington Typewriter No. 1574. on page 99. This machine is probably the oldest
